Ohjelmakesu

Ohjelmakesu is a Finnish term that translates to "program length" or "program duration." It is commonly used in contexts related to television, radio, and other media broadcasts. The term refers to the total time a specific program or broadcast segment is scheduled to run, excluding commercials or other interstitial content. For example, a television show might have an ohjelmakesu of 28 minutes for its main content, with an additional 2 minutes for advertisements, making its total broadcast time 30 minutes.

The concept of ohjelmakesu is important for broadcasters in scheduling and managing their programming. It helps them ensure that shows fit within allocated time slots and that the overall flow of a broadcast is maintained. For viewers, understanding the ohjelmakesu can provide an expectation of how long a particular program will last. This term is a practical element in the operational side of media production and distribution within Finland.
